My absentee ballot came in the mail Since I'm in a blue county in a solidly blue state—one I'm about to functionally get priced out of, almost certainly never to return—I'm almost tempted not to vote out of pure bitterness but *sigh* I guess Westchester can profit at my expense
There was, I recall, one faithless elector in 2004 for who was only *technically* a faithless elector because they cast their VP vote for "John Ewards" This was, presumably, in error, but officially they had to count it as a vote for "Ewards" and not John Edwards

They were an elector from Minnesota and MN still had old-fashioned laws about electors being able to cast a secret ballot So they couldn't ask them to go back and change it because no one stepped up and admitted they were the "John Ewards" voter That's why they changed that law

If it was *really* a secret ballot, stepping up wouldn't have helped anyway, since they couldn't prove it was them.
